Trails for ships like in Homeworld?
I can add a trail in ships.tbl by $trail.
It works only when afterburner is active. Can I do it without using afterburner?

Re: Trails for ships like in Homeworld?
Easiest would be probably to use the 'nebula' trails options...

That is to use these http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Ships.tbl#.24Trail: ,
instead of trails defined with these http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Ships.tbl#.24Afterburner:.

And then in FRED change the 'Ship Trails' section to ON and also the minimum speed either to 0 or something close to it.
